Natasha has been an active member of HFM for more than 15 years and serves as HFM’s representative for the Hemophilia Federation of America. She is always the first to welcome a new family attending an HFM event and has served as a mentor to HFM’s newly diagnosed families for many years. Natasha is the first to volunteer at any event in which HFM needs assistance. She is truly an asset to the HFM Board.

Shanika Jones

Treasurer

Shanika is the mother of four (3 girls and 1 boy). Her son, Roland, has severe hemophilia B. She also has a grandson with severe hemophilia B. Before Roland's diagnosis, Shanika's family had no known history of hemophilia. So, Roland's initial diagnosis was quite a surprise. But she was a quick learner, and 21 years later, her son has graduated from college with a Business degree. Shanika is employed as an Accreditation Business Service Specialist with the Better Business Bureau. She has been an active member of the Hemophilia Foundation of Maryland for more than 15 years.
